1 User Says Thank You Cile For This Useful Post

All right, riddle me this. The beginning of this thread says that the PC software for making backups can split up a game larger than 4GB to work on FAT32 if necessary. Do the Wii Backup Loaders available also know how to do this? What if I try to use the Wii to back up a game like Metroid Prime Trilogy - will the loaders know how to split the file up or will they encounter some kind of error?

I've formatted my drive to FAT32, can i just drag the .iso 's too my hdd, plug it in then run the USB launcher GX channel?

Yes you can, but as Cile mentioned... if you just transfer the ISO to your FAT32 formatted drive with Wii Backup Manager it will convert to .wbfs for you (It will also create a folder structure that is easy to keep track of the games with).

I loaded USB Loader GX and it said I need to format or select a partition. The new USB HD came formatted as FAT32 so I just selected that.

I have ripped two of my games, Mario Kart Wii and SSBB, they ripped just fine. However, they won't load. I get a black screen, actually it's black and it's got some green lines, and I get the error "wbfs error: bad magic", and it freezes.
